Going into the New Year

Starting off the new year with a new post. I have been so caught up with the holidays that most, if not all of my art lately has been holiday related. Last week I made time to work on something different. I found some insperation and wanted to try it out, though the one I did is not as elegant as I would have liked, I do like the way it came out in the end. This has a watercolor background, measured out Mandalas done in gold paint pens.

I have 2 New Years resolutions, first, take my art to the next level, post more, get my stuff out there and stop being afraid to try new things. Second is to be more positive. I need to make sure I am not beating myself up over every little thing that goes wrong and try to find a solution to problems that may occure in the new year.

Here's to getting what we need, working hard for what we want and making 2016 a year of new beginnings.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2016

Jasper's Cat Naps

Usually the reason for me having problems creating is becuase I have artist block or just too busy, well now I have a new problem. Mr. Jasper has found a new napping place. This creates a big problem on so many levels: He is in my way As you can see, he is very hairy and has a lot of hair balls which he has no issues getting rid of wherever he would like. Again, very hairy and he sheds, on everything including the painting I was working on. (good thing I was not happy with the painting). He will push off anything in his way Along with my art desk he has found a few other places, our computer desk, in front of the satellite receiver, the bathtub and the bin where I keep my art towels. Along with is odd sleeping area he now has fleas. I will not say where he got these from but I do know the source. Now its off to the pet store to find a product to put on him because giving this cat a bath is a death sentence for anyone that attempts it. We have never had a flea proble...

Digital Flowers

I am still trying to get the hang of the tools, love how many different apps there are for drawing on a tablet. Each one has its own thing to offer. I will be working on these on my down time from painting, more to come soon though.

Play Ball

As moving day is getting closer it is time to pack up most of the art supplies so I decided to give drawing on the tablet a try again. I am very happy with they way this came out. I started by scribbling all over the screen then staring at it until I found some shapes.I had no intention of drawing something baseball related but that's what happened. It was nice to go into this with absolutely no idea of what I was going to draw. So, LET'S PLAY BALL!
